A friend of mine had her baby yesterday. She didn’t find out what she was having before hand, so I was prepared either way. Well, sort of, I had just a couple of rounds left on the girl hat when I got the news she had a boy. The ribbed one for a boy, and the lace for a girl.
They are both knit with blue sky alpaca’s Royal 100% alpaca. I love knitting with this stuff. It is so soft. The ribbed is a blue sky alpaca pattern that I purchased at a local yarn shop. The lacy knit is the vine lace baby hat pattern from knittingdaily.com. I found myself off a couple of stitches during the decreases. I tried to resolve it, but ended up starting over. Baby hats go so quickly that I learned my lesson the first go around. This time the hat looks great.
Can’t wait to deliver it.
I love the hats. You did a really nice job. I know yoir friend will be so impressed.
Thanks for sharing
